He prefers the "Church Bandit." Either way, the 38-year-old St. Louis man faces charges for allegedly committing more than 15 church burglaries over the past few months in St. Louis County and St. Louis city. Police describe the suspect as a career burglar with several prior felony convictions. He allegedly told detectives he targeted churches late at night to avoid confrontation. Most of the items taken were cash, electronic gear and other items that could easily be traded for crack cocaine. Investigators say Zdanowski tried to use a credit card taken from a Baptist church. A surveillance picture from a Schnucks grocery store led to his arrest on Monday.
